We admit it, CINAHL can be a tricky database to use. In order to find sufficient articles on your topic, whether you're writing that first research paper in 101 or working on your clinicals in your last semester, there are many settings to tweak to get your search just right. Even if you've attended a library class to learn how to search CINAHL there are a lot of things to remember.
That's where our online tutorials come in: we've placed on our webpage for CINAHL a series of video/audio demonstrations that demonstrate the searching process. (Please note: you cannot search CINAHL off campus from the link at the top of this page, you must log in to MyDCC for off-campus access. There will be more on this approach below.) If you wish to use them, be sure to watch them in the order given. Be sure to have your speakers turned on to hear the narration.
To use CINAHL off campus you must sign in to your MyDCC account. Click the "Library" tab near the top of the page, then click on the link marked "Off Campus Database Access" in the center column. The page that comes up will look just like the one we use in the Reference area in the library. Follow the instructions above to see the tutorials.
